Initiation: Transitioning from One Phase of Your Life to the Next.
Join my men's retreat near Berlin in spring 2026
You’re invited to join my four-day Men’s Retreat in the woods outside Berlin in spring 2026. Take advantage of early bird pricing until 7th Dec 2025.
I am offering a men’s retreat over four days in the beautiful Brandenburg countryside, just outside Berlin, Germany.
You’ll be surrounded by majestic woods and secluded lakes, enjoying the sights and sounds of untouched nature in the company of men – the perfect environment for introspection and self-discovery.
“An incredible journey of self discovery and understanding the power of connection with other men.” (Anon, 2025 Retreat Attendee).
Arrival: mid-afternoon on Thursday 9th April 2026.
Departure: after lunch on Sunday 12th April.
One of the reasons everyone feels lost and unsure is that we have become more isolated. In particular, we are cut off from the wisdom and support of other men – mostly because we find it difficult to open up and be truly vulnerable with each other.
In my four-day workshop, within a group of like-minded men, we will look at the three main transitions for men:
Boy to man
Reaching midlife
Becoming an elder
While women have biology to point the way (first period, motherhood and menopause), men have to earn their manhood. Traditional communities had initiation rituals to help boys become men, but our western culture offers little – beyond your father buying you your first legal pint of beer.
“An absolute must for inquiring minds - emotionally, mentally and spiritually” (Anon, 2025 Retreat Attendee).
In our retreat, we will perform the missing ritual, help you feel more comfortable in your own skin, discuss what it means to be a man today and put together a guide for prospering in the next phase of your life.
If you are looking for new directions or a reset, the retreat will culminate in a Vision Quest to tap into your inner wisdom – which knows what is right for you – for a new way forward.
Every day will start with a choice of a movement class or a session discussing your dreams, followed by delicious Ayurvedic breakfast and a morning and an afternoon workshop or ritual with a break for lunch. After some free time for personal reflection and supper, we will continue working round an open air fire. There will be exercises to open up your voice for communal singing and we will unpack a myth together. Afterwards, there is the option of a late night swim in the lake, a sauna and a hot tub in which you can relax.
I look forward to seeing you in 2026!
With love,
Andrew
